Former Obama aide plans N.J. Senate run

A former aide to President Obama, Mark Alexander, says he will challenge state Sen. Nia Gill in the June Democratic primary. Alexander, a Seton Hall University law professor, was a campaign policy aide to Obama who worked on his 2008 transition team.”What I know is we are a progressive state,” Alexander said. “Same-sex marriage is core issue of equality. I ask, why is it we don’t have it? We should be leading.” The legislature passed a same-sex marriage bill and Gov. Christie vetoed it, suggesting it be put before voters. Some feel civil rights issues should not be decided at the ballot box. The issue is winding its way through the state court system.

Another pol. thats is out of touch? High taxes, Fair school funding, property tax relief are the issues not same sex marriage. When will these clowns wake up and make the real issues the subject of an election?

Another clueless fool! Who is just another former minion of the inept system which is plaguing our state and nation? So many thousands are homeless, without jobs, enormous economic burdens, “Sandy” victims, fighting on two fronts, unprotected boarders, infiltration of narcotics into our nation, etc…. This clueless fool is worried about same sex marriages as priority?
This is a perfect example of the radical thinking of this guy; he would rather make this topic which is miniscule in nature and subjective at best a priority over all the real problems that are currently plaguing our residents and citizens.
This guy doesn’t deserve one cent of taxpayers’ dollars for his rhetoric or his ability to be paid by the residents of this state. He is the pinnacle of clueless fool.

Clueless fool for sure! I’m not against same-sex marriage, but that’s the one issue he thinks is important in this state? Really?

Another thing: why does he think he has a chance against a sitting Democratic Senator? Why should voters in that district essentially fire Gill and replace her with him? Is she controversial in some way?
